So, you all probably know that I went to San Fransico recently to spend some time with the amazingly lovely people from Pinterest and you may know that I learned a lot from them on how to use Pinterest to your advantage if you're a blogger or business owner.I've shared a few posts (here and here) about what I learned when I was there already and there'll definitely be more to come but today, I wanted to share something with you that I know you want to know about even more than you want to know how to master Pinterest - I'm going to let you have a look at some of my photos from the brunch … [Read more...]

How we’ll be mortgage free (at least) 11 years ahead of schedule….
Last month I told you all about our debt free journey - from how we built up our debt to how we finally paid it all off. Today, I want to tell you a little about our plan to pay off our mortgage 11 years ahead of schedule so we're not only debt free ut mortgage free too.When we bought our current house, we were still in our not-very-sensible with money stage so we chose to pay less each month over a longer term.
